Back from the Dead

No, I’m not talking about the new Spinal Tap album, I’m talking about my server and my life to a certain extent. I haven’t blogged in forever. I know all four of you are devastated. But rest assured, a new mix is coming soon. I’m pumped to get back on the horse after a winter of intense travel.

My server has been dead for the last couple weeks. Total fail and pain in the ass. Had a harddrive corrupt on me and spent days restoring my site and my friends’ who I host here, such as peterolenick.com, rileypoor.com, aftworldtour.com and a host of others. Needless to say, I received a lot of strongly worded e-mails and voice mails about the matter. Sorry everyone. We’re back online and rolling like a champ!

So in lieu of releasing a new mix, I stumbled upon this gem courtesy of Vice mag.:

A Mixtape for a Friday

Other than that, I’ve decided to make some big changes in my life. Such as joining Twitter (you should follow me to make me feel more popular), and making a list of important things I need to stop doing in my life. See below.

Let’s see, what else… FriendBeef.com is making some progress. We have the core code written… just waiting for Dave Levin to start pulling his weight and finish the CSS, then I need to code some more functionality. Let’s say, I hope to have the Alpha version up and running by August 1. To get into the Alpha release, you’ll have to come in through ShayWill.com, ’cause he’s the man.

Speaking of Shwill, I’ve been spending lots of time hanging out at his frat house on the hill. It’s not really a frat house, but Willis really makes it feel that way. Good times. Too much partying. For instance, the other night, I figured it would be a good idea to leave Shay’s place at 3am and walk 4 miles to the office. Not sure why I didn’t go home… but I was determined to not be late for work. So instead, I slept AT THE OFFICE until 11am. I’m really good at living.

Let’s do some favorites…

• Favorite Twitter Celeb to follow: Tom Morello
• Favorite photographer to follow: Nate Abbott
• Favorite competitor to follow: CKO
• Favorite blog: Shay Will
• Favorite song as of this moment: Soulsavers – Kingdoms of Rain
• Favorite guitar chord progression: C, Em, Am, F, G (Bright Eyes – A Scale, A mirror…)
• Favorite Freeskier intern: Brian Schroy

Ending this crap with some of my favorite quotes from the last month:

“I’m not ashamed. It’s better than peeing on yourself.” – Angeli VanLaanen

“You gotta let her know what kind of guy you are, so they know what kind of girl to be.” – Mad Men

“I can’t do that anymore. I got one in my eye and one in my throat.” – Michelle Parker (referring to smoking a loosy American Spirit)

“Living like there’s no tomorrow because… there is none.” – Mad Men

“… but we hope to inspire all of America to band together and make our nation a little bit less of an embarrassing, disgusting shithole.” – The Onion

That’s all I’ve got. Thanks for stopping by, and I’m feeling motivated to get back on the bloghorse, so new mix coming soon. I promise.

Love,

Matt.
